i'll buy it and edit out all of the gophers and replace the swinging scene with an animated bit of Mutt getting shot out of a canon and have the screen go black after the third waterfall, because they all died, and have the alien look like a huge duck that goes woop woop, and it uses its infinite knowledge to bring them back to life and it eats the crystal skull because it's candy to interdimensional beings and then he uses mind beams to turn the Russian lady good, because she was really under Adolf Hitler's mind control, and it turns out Marion was actually Adolf Hitler in disguise, but he's actually a good guy under Roosevelt's mind control, and Indy marries the Russian lady and she's really Mutt's mother.

To me that was more entertaining than Indy 4. Was that a good movie? hell no, it was trash at its best, but entertaining. Indy 4 aspired to be so much, but it was devoid of what makes movies work: fun.
Two clever quips from Mutt or Indiana in Indy 4 was more entertaining than any of the "action" in AvP2:R
Hey! I'm late, but I just saw this and this is the internets so i have $.02
This was a solid MEH. Some parts were surprisingly good though.
Cons
-Gophers, even if they weren't as bad as everyone says, they still should have been cut.
-Jeep scene was great till Mutt was fighting with cg legs on two jeeps and the dumb tarzan/monkeys part.
-They digitally touched up Indy's face in a couple scenes and I lol'd
-Set design was TERRIBLE. It looked like a play in parts with big painted backgrounds with no depth and everything looked fake fake fake.
-Not one funny or witty line in this movie worked.
-People should be mentioning the motorcycle slide along with waterfalls and nuke fridge. Indy wouldn't have slid with the motorcyle like that, he'd have gone about 10 feet and the cycle would have kept going alone because of the difference in momentum and friction. Another dumb ending to an otherwise good scene.
- I complain about this all the time but you have to keep things plausible in movies for them to work. You make the rules about what supernatural stuff you allow (ok, we'll have aliens and functioning religious relics) and the characters function within them. Indy is super bad-ass, but he's still human, and humans can't survive being thrown in a fridge, or falling off a waterfall like that. Low chance of survival, fine. No chance of survival, leave it out.
-How do you get a motorcycle on a passenger plane and bring it to South America? And then they barely even used it! I assumed there had to be another big motorcycle chase if they went through the trouble to bring it and there wasn't. They could have just gotten a local bike to drive to the cemetary. Was it possible to fly through Havanna in 57?
-Why did the Russian girl die? The aliens interacted with humans before, they wanted to give a gift, why did it kill her? Why did Indy just let her recieve the gift? If it had worked out then the Russians would have fucked us all. Why did they collect all those artifacts and build a big city only to leave and destroy them all? wtf?
Pros
-The one set I did like a lot was the cemetary. It didn't look real either, but it was really cool, creepy, and lent a great sense of adventure.
-Shia LeBouf was really good. I've liked him since Even Stevens, and even though the dialog was weak he did well. The role is tough, no one really wants to see a successor to Indy, or him having a kid. The fact that he made it through the movie without being hated is a credit to him. I wish he would choose better movies though, a few more blockbuster turds and he might kill his career.
-Indy was good in the non-action scenes. The scene with he and Mutt in the diner was fun. And when he was exploring and solving the mysteries he was really good too. Just a let down in the action scenes and delivering one liners.
-Jeep chase before it got dumb.
-I liked the city when they got there. It was really good till they turned it into a big alien spaceship.
-I think the Crystal Skulls were a good choice for the movie's objective, even if they didn't execute the end properly. When I first heard it I was skeptical.
I didn't see National Treasure 2, but my gf said it's the same movie with them searching for the gold city. She thought they did it better. I think Ducktales did it better too.
I'm buying it day 1.Quote:
